Windows 7: Reinstall of Win 7 cannot dual boot with Win 8.1 anymore

I know I'm probably just doing something stupid, but I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 in my dual boot system. Windows 8.1 can no longer "see" Win 7 and won't dual boot with it. I tried EasyBCD and all it did was corrupt Win 8.1's Bootmgr to the point where I had to use Automatic Repair from the Win 8 install disk to get 8.1 to boot again.

Short of reinstalling Win 8, is there anything I can do from Win 7 that will re-enable dual boot? Or is there a way in Win 8? I tried a couple of the Win 8 tutorials, but the option for Win 7 never came up in the boot options screens.
